Dural sac localization using myelography and its application to the lumbosacral epidural in dogs [PDF]

Open Veterinary Journal, 2020
Background: The techniques described for the identification of the lumbosacral (LS) epidural space in dogs do not guarantee the needle position or an accidental subarachnoid puncture, especially in small size dogs.

Brachial plexus injury mimicking a spinal-cord injury. [PDF]

, 2010
Objective High-energy impact to the head, neck, and shoulder can result in cervical spine as well as brachial plexus injuries. Because cervical spine injuries are more common, this tends to be the initial focus for management.

Optimization and Validation of a New Score in Diagnosing Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension [PDF]

Alzheimers Dement
Abstract Background Diagnosis of spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) relies on detecting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak by myelography and opening pressure by lumbar puncture. However, these intrusive examinations limit the early diagnosis of quick identification.

Accuracy of transcranial magnetic stimulation and a Bayesian latent class model for diagnosis of spinal cord dysfunction in horses [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Spinal cord dysfunction/compression and ataxia are common in horses. Presumptive diagnosis is most commonly based on neurological examination and cervical radiography, but the interest into the diagnostic value of transcranial magnetic ...

Headache After Sealing of Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks in Patients With Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension [PDF]

Eur J Neurol
ABSTRACT Introduction Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an important cause of headache that might require invasive treatment. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate (1) clinical presentation, (2) factors associated with incomplete headache resolution, and (3) the long‐term outcomes in patients with persistent headache after

Lumbar myelography in the diagnosis of thoracolumbar intervertebral disk extrusion in dogs: prospective study

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2014
Thoracolumbar disk extrusion is the most common cause of extradural compression of the spinal cord in dogs. Myelography is one of the most commonly performed techniques for the diagnosis of this affection.

MRI myelography for diagnosis and targeted blood patching of multilevel thoracic spine CSF leaks: Report of 2 cases

Radiology Case Reports, 2019
In patients with occult cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks or CSF leak syndrome, orthostatic headaches are a common presenting symptom. Although computed tomography (CT) myelography has historically been the gold standard for diagnosis with radioisotope ...

Intravenous enhanced 3D FLAIR imaging to identify CSF leaks in spontaneous intracranial hypotension: Comparison with MR myelography

European Journal of Radiology Open, 2021
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical utility of intravenous gadolinium-enhanced heavily T2-weighted 3D fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (HT2-FLAIR) imaging for identifying spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks in patients with spontaneous intracranial ...
